Durban's one of the top street food destinations in the world - here are 5 foodie havens to check out
If we had to choose only one destination in South Africa to eat street food, the choice would be an easy one. And even before Durban was named one of the best street food cities in the world - alongside other big street food names like Hong Kong, Bangkok, Mumbai and Rome - South Africans knew that Durban was the hottest spot in Mzansi to enjoy world-class street fare.
Afro's Chicken Shop
This super quirky mustard yellow container serves delish chicken and "tjips" or slaw and is an awesome spot for a coffee after a run or bike ride along the promenade.
It’s also a rad place to watch the surf as its right in front of a shipwreck!
The Prawn Shak
This unique, rustic restaurant cooks up a selection of delightful local’s favourites
far from the madding crowd on the beautiful unspoilt Mtunzini, located on the North Coast, 140km from Durban.
Yeah, I know. It's a bit of a drive, but the beach vibe and finger-licking grub make it all worth it.
Fudart strEATERY
This food truck caters mainly at big events, like the Durban Street Food Festival and the likes. But we can't get enough of its goodness! Especially their Cajun beef burger layered with cream cheese, sweet corn and red kidney bean salsa... Ooooo!
TurnUp Food Truck
Grilled, layered with melted cheese. TurnUp literally turns up at every Durban foodie event you need to know about, serving their morish on the masses' demand.
I can't wait to get my next fix!
I Heart Market
If you're looking for a variety of vibrant street food vendors in one place, the I Heart Market takes place on the first Saturday of every month at The Hay Store near uShaka Marine World.
Besides food it also offers up a lot of local craft and fashion, the perfect place to spend your weekend.
